Japan's "Kimigayo" is the national anthem which has the oldest lyrics because its words originate from a Heian period waka poem that dates between the 9th and 10th centuries. The lyrics existed from ancient times but the music was created in 1880 and the official adoption took place in 1999. The song stands as one of the shortest national anthems in the world.
